VINTAGE Gucci "Jackie" cognac natural leather, piston clasp, triangle shoulder hobo bag, (c. 1985). Has extra extension leather strap for crossbody. Crossbody strap adds 29” to existing permanent shoulder length of 20”. Gold Piston Clasp Closure hardware has Gucci engraved. Medium zipper pocket with Gold Gucci Pull. Original felt sack included. Used vintage condition is excellent, WITH THE FOLLOWING MINOR FLAWS NOTED: Leather Lining has pen marks – please see pics. Minor abrasion wear on heels, very minor scuffs on outsider of bag – please see pics. Piston clasp needs a giggle to lock, but magnet grabs sufficiently to keep bag closed. The story goes that in 1964, three years after the Constance was first released, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis purchased six of the crescent-shaped bags. Thereafter she was rarely photographed without one tucked under her arm, popularising the style and prompting the house to change the name from “the Constance” to “‘the Jackie”. The bag has undergone many changes since its launch in 1961, but in all its reincarnations, its simple elegance and excellent craftmanship has never BEEN diminished. Just Beautiful!
